Our homework for today was to collect veined leaves. A difficult assignment in Arizona. However, we did manage a varied collection.
Today we experimented with another non woven material called Evolon. It is thicker than Reemay with a suede like texture.
We painted our leaf veins with acrylic paint and used them as stamps to create a leaf outline on our Evolon. Once the paint was dry we cut out the leaves using scissors or the hot knife. Then we over painted the leaves using paints and added details using Inktense pencils and blocks.

| Painting leaf veins - note paint brush is almost horizontal to the leaf. |
 |
| Press down on the leaf stamp, do not rub. |
 |
| Voila - gorgeous fig leaf stamped on Evolon. |
 |
| Paint with DynaFlow. Evolon can take a lot of water, do not worry. |
 |
| Add details with Inktense pencils and blocks. |
